SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is 
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation is available 
at http://www.reginfo.gov. Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and 
approval of the following information collection, TSA is soliciting 
comments to--
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.

Information Collection Requirement

    OMB Control Number 1652-0060; Aircraft Repair Station Security. In 
accordance with the Aviation Transportation Security Act (ATSA), 49 
U.S.C. 44924, and relevant TSA regulations, 49 CFR part 1554, TSA will 
perform security reviews and audits of aircraft repair stations located 
within and outside of the United States.

Background

    On December 12, 2003, the President of the United States signed 
into law the Vision 100 Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (the 
Act). Section 611 of the Act requires the Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS) to ensure the security of aircraft repair stations. The 
Act further requires a security review and audit of foreign repair 
stations certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 
TSA, on behalf of DHS, is the agency to conduct the relevant tasks 
associated with this legislation. In response to the Act, TSA published 
a final rule setting forth the new requirements on January 13, 2014. 
See 79 FR 2120.
    Only repair stations certificated by the FAA under part 145 and 
which are located on or adjacent to an airport, as defined in 49 CFR 
1554.101(a)(1) and (2), are required to implement security requirements 
including designating a TSA point of contact and preventing the 
operation of unattended large aircraft that are capable of flight. All 
repair stations certificated by the FAA under part 145 that are not 
located on a military installation are subject to inspection by TSA. A 
repair station owner or operator is responsible for maintaining updated 
employment history records to demonstrate compliance with the 
regulatory requirements. These records must be made available to TSA 
upon request. If TSA discovers security deficiencies, a repair station 
may be subject to suspension or, in extreme cases,

[[Page 52778]]

withdrawal of its certification by the FAA if such deficiencies are not 
corrected. A repair station owner or operator may petition for 
reconsideration (appeal) a determination by TSA that FAA must suspend 
or revoke its certificate. Newly certificated repair stations located 
outside of the U.S. may be required to respond to paper and desk audits 
by completing a form and returning it to TSA. TSA uses the collected 
information to determine compliance with the security measures required 
under 49 CFR part 1554.
    TSA received approval from OMB for the collection of information on 
June 4, 2014, which is approved through December 2015. TSA now seeks to 
extend this approval from OMB to continue collecting information 
relating to recordkeeping of employment history records, petitions for 
reconsideration, and paper/desk audits. Accordingly, TSA must proceed 
with this ICR for this program in order to continue to comply with 
statutory mandates.
    The respondents to this information collection are the owners and/
or operators of repair stations certificated by the FAA under 14 CFR 
part 145, which is estimated to be 451 repair stations located in the 
U.S. and 772 repair stations located outside the U.S.
    TSA has completed a security audit of 707 repair stations located 
outside the U.S. as required by the statute. TSA estimates that 225 
stations located on or adjacent to airports may be required to provide 
records to TSA in the event a security deficiency is identified and is 
not immediately corrected. Each respondent repair station would spend 
approximately 1 hour to provide information to inspectors and would 
incur a total of 225 burden hours (225 repair stations * 1 hour).
    In addition, there are 65 repair stations that received 
certification after the original security audit was completed. These 
newly certificated repair stations may be required to provide records 
to TSA upon request. Each respondent repair station would spend 
approximately 2 hours to prepare and submit records. TSA estimates that 
respondents will incur a total of 130 burden hours (65 repair stations 
* 2 hours) to satisfy the recordkeeping requirement.
    TSA estimates that of the 451 repair stations within the U.S 
required to implement security measures, 151 repair stations will be 
required to provide records to TSA upon request. Each respondent repair 
station will spend approximately 2 hours to prepare and submit records. 
TSA estimates that respondents will incur a total of 302 burden hours 
(151 repair stations * 2 hours) to satisfy the recordkeeping 
requirement.
    TSA estimates that of the 451 repair stations within the U.S., 1 
repair station will petition for reconsideration. The respondent repair 
station will spend approximately 10 hours to complete the process. Once 
a repair station receives a written notice of security deficiencies, 
the repair station must respond in writing within 45 days describing 
the measures implemented to correct the deficiencies. If the repair 
station fails to correct the deficiencies within 90 days, TSA will 
issue a notice to the repair station and to the FAA that the 
certificate must be suspended. A repair station may petition for review 
of that determination within 20 days by providing a written response 
including any information TSA should consider in reviewing its 
decision. TSA estimates that the respondent will incur a total of 10 
burden hours (1 repair station * 10 hours).
    TSA estimates that all respondents repair stations will incur a 
total of 657 hours (355 outside the U.S. and 312 within the U.S.) 
annually to satisfy the collection requirements. Therefore, the total 
average annual hour burden estimate is approximately 657 hours. There 
is no cost burden to respondents as a result of this collection.
